‘Bachelorette’ Alum Jason Tartick Confirms Romance with Kathryn Hurley in Sweet Birthday Tribute
Former Bachelorette contestant Jason Tartick has officially moved on — and he’s making it Instagram official. The reality TV star, who was previously engaged to Bachelor Nation favorite Kaitlyn Bristowe, confirmed his new romance with Kathryn Hurley in a heartfelt social media post celebrating her birthday.
Tartick, 36, shared a carousel of photos on Instagram Friday showing him and Hurley cozying up during a weekend getaway. The couple appeared all smiles in the snaps, which included moments of laughter, wine toasts, and a candid sunset shot.
“Happy Birthday to this incredible woman who’s brought so much light and laughter into my life,” Tartick captioned the post. “Grateful for every moment with you.”
Hurley, who works in marketing and philanthropy, responded to the post with a simple red heart emoji and a comment that read, “You’re the best gift.”
From Bachelor Nation to New Beginnings
Tartick first captured fans’ hearts on Season 14 of The Bachelorette, where he competed for Becca Kufrin’s affection before becoming a fan favorite within the Bachelor Nation franchise. He later began dating Kaitlyn Bristowe, the former Bachelorette and podcast host, in 2019. The pair got engaged in 2021 but announced their split in August 2023, citing “different life paths.”
Since their breakup, both have remained supportive of one another publicly. Bristowe even noted in a podcast earlier this year that she wished Tartick “nothing but happiness.”
A Low-Key Relationship
Sources close to the couple told People that Tartick and Hurley had been “quietly seeing each other” for several months before making their relationship public.
“Jason wanted to take his time and make sure things felt right before sharing it with the world,” the insider said. “He’s really happy — Kathryn is grounded, kind, and supportive.”
The two reportedly met through mutual friends in late spring and bonded over shared interests in travel, wellness, and business.
Bachelor Nation Reacts
Following Tartick’s announcement, several Bachelor Nation stars flooded the comments with supportive messages. Becca Kufrin, Wells Adams, and Andrew Spencer were among those who sent congratulations, with Kufrin writing, “So happy for you, J!”
Tartick’s new romance marks a fresh chapter for the financial advisor and podcast host, who has spent the past year focusing on his business ventures, including his “Restart” podcast and financial education brand.
“He’s in such a good place personally and professionally,” the insider added. “This relationship feels easy for him — it’s built on mutual respect and shared values.”
While the couple is keeping things “private but happy,” Tartick’s fans are thrilled to see him glowing again — and it looks like love is officially back in bloom.
